I hadn't been following it that closely in the midst of all the deadline madness. It wasn't long ago that it seemed like they had it wrapped up, but it's very much in play now. 4 points over 12 games is not at all an impossible gap to close. Too bad the two teams don't have any games left against each other, that would sure make things interest.

Yeah I noticed it today as well. Very surprised. Like you, I had the Isles penciled for at least the 8th spot or as high as the 6th. They havenít been doing a lot of winning lately.
